OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ) – About 100 of the U.S. Army’s heaviest trucks will get a new lease on life, thanks to the Oshkosh Corporation.
The state’s famous maker of military vehicles will get an $11 million contract modification to rebuild and improve Mine-Resistant Ambush-Protected vehicles.
Oshkosh says it costs about 25 percent less to make a combat-worn vehicle new again, than it is to build it from scratch.
The rebuilt units are put together on the same assembly lines as the new trucks, and they have the same warranties.
The new work will be completed by next October in Oshkosh.
